too_much: why do you say unfortunately for the people? it looks like they are enjoying themselves to me.

I like the irony with the guy in the SECURITY shirt walking away from the guys...dancing...on the car. I know he's not security—a million T-shirts and hoodies have "SECURITY" on them—but I still think it's a good touch of irony.

I thought the rampages were over some months ago.

neocorsten says:

Rampages occured some months ago but now, some students (lead by our wonderful french "syndicats") refuse a law aimed at creating employement. Some points of the contract (CPE = contrat de première embauche) have to be discussed and improved but some students don't want to understand and prefer to block schools and prevent students that want to work from going to univ. As usual, it's a real mess, it's France :-s Anyway, each time we have strikes and riots, we have rampages and the police prefers to do nothing as if a guy is injured or even killed, it will foster the riots .... I'm bored

seguro que el coche no es de esos dos gamberros , sino de una pobre persona que le hace falta para trabajar y mantener a su familia , hay quien aprovecha los disturbios para sacar al exterior la clase de persona que es
Sure that the car does not belong to these two hooligans, but to a poor person that he(she) needs to work and to support to his(her,your) family, there is the one who takes advantage of the disturbances to extract on the outside the person's class that is

Oui, mais faut vraiment que je pense à me trouver un casque, ça craint trop sans rien. J'ai failli prendre une bonne grosse caillasse avant même les Invalides. Le plus emmerdant, c'est qu'ils ont commencé à s'en prendre aux photographes (et à leurs appareils !)...

Bravo (for the picture) !!!! Look at this guy on the left side !? I’m pretty sure he’s stealing something inside the Mini! Gonzale, tes photos de Paris sont Doisneau-esques ! Prends bien garde à toi quand même dans de telles situations !

Fred [feukiou] [deleted] says:

for some of the last comments: some people have simply no education at all.. they've only got anger against a system that left them in their crap.
An american guy, friend of mine, told me that companies owe nothing to their employees.. maybe... but they could be more human and I don't think this apply to a gouvernment.
People pay taxes to make things better in their country, we call it social, not to help worldwide companies make more money.

shit I really hope things gonna change and put all those political bastards where they should be!
The CPE is only a political strategy to help M Sarkozy in winning the president elections.
see the results....

weezgrrl says:

this photo is great - because it infuriates me. such random destruction of property serves no purpose. do these autos belong to the lawmakers? no. they belong to other citizens - citizens who will have to pay the cost, not the government. people can be idiotic.

Fred [feukiou] [deleted] says:

I said: "they have no education"
Can somebody still understand that in 2006?
We're rich with internet connections and digital cameras, even cars.
Those who do this have nothing, especially the culture necessary to avoid this type of behavior.
SO they take any opportunity to destroy anything.

Don't worry, they'll go to jail.. like half of their youth.
And then.. after?
The owners will have money from insurance, not a big deal.. believe me.

Congrats felicitations pour le monde, c'est mérité, cette photo est bien mieux que de nombreuses photos de collégiens boutonneux que j'ai vu dans les journaux ce matin.

Tout aura été dit. Cette photo est excellente. Avoir réussi à prendre cette "danse" est une bien belle métaphore qui parle plus que tout. Il n'y a aucune comparaison possible avec la photo choisie par le figaro qui n'a pas la puissance et l'impacte de cette jolie "polka" ! Châpeau bas !!!

bluehour says:

Great capture.

I had mixed feelings about these manifs because of scenes like this but I have to say it is great to see people taking to the streets to say they don't want to be controlled by the corporations. Let's face it, CPE is billed as a program to encourage employment of disgruntled ( and rightly so) youth in teh banlieu, but it seems to be a trojan horse for corporate desires. That's why MEDEF is so strongly in favor of CPE.

Marrant, il me semble avoir vu sur une vidéo du 20h (impossible de retrouver ou) la même scene. Un des deux casseurs de droite se coincait le pied dans le pare-brise. Il devait y avoir énormément de journalistes sur le coup (peut-être plus que de casseurs?). Belle prise sinon.
